CHARACTER BLITZ - Mad Love by Colet Abedi

23-year-old aspiring artist Sophie Walker can think of no better place than the exotic paradise of the Maldives Islands to escape the wrath of her controlling parents, the monotony of her boring legal work and her passionless boyfriend. With her two best friends along for the ride and to help her find herself again, Sophie is not prepared for the enigmatic Clayton Sinclair. Clayton comes from another world of privilege that seems like a fantasy to Sophie.  Can this man introduce her to the passion & seduction she never realized she was desperately searching for? Sophie quickly becomes ensnared in Clayton's seductive web until a shocking treachery makes her question her judgment and actions.

What is your favorite thing about Sophie/Clayton?

I love how Sophie is so brave and takes a leap of faith to follow her dreams. As for Clayton… well, what’s not to love about him? He’s successful, confidant, knows what he wants, intelligent and extraordinarily generous. #dreamguy

Tell us something about Sophie that no one else knows, Clayton?

Sophie gained the Freshman 15 and was put on a strict diet by Erik. 

Clayton was very close to becoming a professional skier. 

Sophie--what's the sweetest thing Clayton has done for you?

Clayton surprised me and had sketchpads and art supplies brought over to our bungalow when I commented on how I wish I had brought more with me from back home.

What's next for you two?

Sophie: 

Well, right now we’re not talking. I think he betrayed me and I refuse to take any of his calls. I have an exciting work trip coming up though, and I’m hoping it will distract me enough from thinking about Clayton all the time. 

Clayton:

I have no comment right now. 

Sophie, what's the most annoying thing about Clayton?

He really doesn't annoy me. The only thing might be how commanding his personality is at times but even that is kind of sexy.
